My mild 370 build
4 Attachment(s)
Well ive been sitting on this LQ4 a while,actually sold it to a buddy them decided to buy it back after going to Jackson meet
So 82xxx LQ4/80e trans picked up,sold the trans, not very smart... Popped the heads off the 6.0 today be be quite disappointed Attachment 124175Attachment 124176 Cyl 3^ ,6,7,8 also had some but wasn't nothing like 3,its pitted pretty well Was planning a light hone and re ring but decided im going 370,and go ahead and throw some flat tops in. The whole motor is just all nasty and would like to go through the bottom end and check things out. Motor is at Wall2Wall Performace right now, hopefully get there these week and check her out and get some photos! Dis assembled, hot tanked, bored, honed, polish and rebalance crank,etc. I have gotten a few goodies in so far Attachment 124177 Attachment 124178 Haven't ordered any of the small goodies, because the girlfriend said she wants to get it for christmas Geoff at EPS had spec'd me a 230/234.607/609 112+4 for the 370,and went that way. Orders been placed about 2 weeks now, no rush. Final plans are Fresh 370 lq4 PRC Stage 2.5 LS6 and .650 duals,milled .025 Mahle -4cc flat tops Callies 6.125 H beams Stock crank Ls7 lifters Ls2 trays ls2 timing chain 42lb 8.1L Marines Pushrods Melling pump All ARP goodies bottom through top. Ls2 Intake 92mm DBC SFI plate Ronnie @ W2W is handling the shortblock,but i do have a few questions for you guys: Should i stick with MLS head gaskets? Jake @tsp told me my CR would be 11.1ish with stock gaskets,sounds right? Anything i should possibly add to my parts list? Im also looking at rockers,but im somewhat lost,should i just stay with the stockers? Any opinions on my cam specs? Im hoping its pretty torquey. |
I like it! I'm for results
Ronnie at wall2wall knows his stuff. Iv talked to him a few times about a 408 build. Where do you live? I'm right down the road in holden |

Stock rockers with trunion upgrade imho
As for head gasket run a stock 6.0 head gasket (should compress to around .051") you dont want a ton of compression bc then you cant run a lot of timing due to fuel quality. Imho build it to run on 93, not E85 considering not very many places have E85 around here. Which oil pump are you gonna run? High pressure or high volume? |
